Plate 70: Se construyen escuelas y se imparte la enseñanza (from the portfolio Estampas de la Revolución Mexicana)

Translation: The Escuela Rural (rural school) is a stronghold of the Mexican Revolution. All governments emerging from the revolution have been primarily concerned with raising the socio-cultural conditions of the Mexican people. Mexico is now one of the countries with the most rural schools in its territory. Higher education was also an outcome of the revolution and a distinct example is the National Polytechnic Institute.
